“I thank my colleagues. This is a critical matter that the Senate needs to exercise its oversight responsibilities upon. If this issue cannot be addressed in the very near future, my colleagues and I will have no choice but to bring this amendment back to the floor on another bill to have an forthright discussion about ensuring the constitutionally afforded due process U.S. citizens and interests must have in NAFTA disputes. I also want to applaud the administration in particular the U.S. Trade Representative, as well as the International Trade Commission, for acting steadfastly to enforce U.S. trade law. But their efforts are being thwarted by the current NAFTA Panel rules. This must be changed.”
